Ready to go as soon as it was opened, it is a medium bodied wine with a predominant layer of dark fruits. Ripe and soft tannins, good balance. It went well with ribs.

Opened this one to pair w/ a farfalle with roasted red pepper sausage. The Dodd is always a winner and this one was no exception. Roughly an hour to open up once decanted and had a real Chateauneuf essence to it w/ that barnyard aroma. Although towards the end of the window, just fantastic. Waiting to crack the 11' and 12' that I'm still holding.

Needed to be opened up and let breathe for an hour. Rated 2013-2021 and drunk in 2018. Was beginning to look a little brickish in color but was still very good. Hard to compare as it's 53% tannat. We give it a 90.

Dark purple opaque in color, this is a full bodied wine. Initial flavors of dark fruit transition smoothly to chocolate mousse and leather all supported by soft tannins to a long finish… This wine is delicious either as a sipping wine or with food.

Same feeling that I had 2 years ago- damn tasty BBQ and food friendly wine. Drank with homemade 5 peppers, onions, cheese and bacon enchiladas (red sauce). Good wine that holds up with the spice. Tannins are more resolved and a great wine.
